Chapter 284 A light spot appears in the rearview mirror
"Opportunities always come with risks," Yang Cheng consoled himself, looking out the window. The deep night sky seemed to swallow up the last shred of hesitation in his heart. Every successful person must seize fleeting opportunities, and he couldn't wait any longer.
Yang Cheng stood up, deciding not to hesitate any longer. He quickly stuffed the documents into his bag, put on his coat, and prepared to leave. This time, he wasn't going to let anyone get in his way.
Elsewhere, subtle noises reached Su Ming's earpiece. Through technology, Yang Cheng's every movement was silently recorded. He left his residence and drove to a secret location not far away, just as Su Ming had predicted.
"Sure enough, he's started moving." Su Ming's lips curled up slightly. He was already familiar with the next steps. Yang Cheng's actions seemed spontaneous, but he was completely guided by Su Ming. No matter how much Yang Cheng struggled, he would eventually find himself walking on a path that had been set in stone.
Time slowly passed in the night. Su Ming's car maintained a suitable distance from Yang Cheng, neither getting too close to avoid detection nor letting him out of his sight. Yang Cheng's headlights flickered in the darkness, like prey locked in Su Ming's gaze, stepping towards his carefully designed trap.
Two cars drove, one in front of the other, through the city's outskirts. Yang Cheng chose a secluded road, lit only by dim streetlights, as if it led to some unknown abyss. Su Ming was concentrating, his fingers tapping the steering wheel from time to time, his eyes fixed on the taillights of the car ahead.
Yang Cheng stopped the car in front of an abandoned warehouse. Su Ming didn't rush to follow, choosing instead to observe quietly from the shadows not far away. He knew this meeting was crucial, and Yang Cheng's every move at this moment could be crucial.
After Yang Cheng got out of the car, silence reigned, the only sound being the night breeze. Su Ming saw him pull out his phone, seemingly talking to someone. Although he couldn't hear the conversation, Su Ming could guess that Yang Cheng was confirming the next step in the intelligence. After the call ended, Yang Cheng's expression became even more tense. He stood at the warehouse door, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
Su Ming held his breath, observing all this. He knew that Yang Cheng's anxiety and uneasiness were slowly deepening, and it was this emotion that would make him make even more irrational decisions.
About ten minutes later, a black sedan slowly drove up and stopped at the warehouse entrance. The door opened, and a tall man emerged with a stern expression. Su Ming recognized him as Yang Cheng's superior, a mysterious figure codenamed "Black Tiger." This man was extremely secretive and rarely appeared in public. Meeting him signified the extraordinary importance of this transaction.
Black Tiger approached Yang Cheng, and after a brief exchange, they entered the warehouse together. Su Ming got out of the car and approached silently. He had to know the content of the conversation inside; it would be the core of his plan. Through the dilapidated window, he could vaguely hear voices from inside.
"Are you sure there is no problem with the intelligence this time?" Hei Hu's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of doubt.
"I have verified it many times and it is absolutely reliable." Yang Cheng pretended to be calm, but Su Ming could feel the slight tremor in his voice.
"Well, if the information is true, you will be richly rewarded." Black Tiger was silent for a moment, then continued, "But if there are any problems, you should know the consequences."
Yang Cheng's Adam's apple moved slightly, as if he was suppressing his inner fear. He knew he had no way out and had to go all out.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Yang Cheng finally said in a firm tone.
Su Ming watched all this coldly from the window, his inner plan already fully formed. Although Yang Cheng appeared calm on the surface, his inner turmoil was already beginning to show. Just a little more pressure and he would completely collapse. And this final moment of collapse was exactly what Su Ming needed.
Time continued to pass, and Su Ming decided to wait patiently. Yang Cheng was already deeply involved, and everything that followed would unfold according to his expectations. His mission was not only to monitor, but also to strike at the critical moment and crush all of Yang Cheng's hopes.
After leaving the warehouse, Yang Cheng's pace became a bit flustered. He seemed to realize some danger, but it was too late. Su Ming had been following him in the dark, pressing him step by step. He watched Yang Cheng drive away, eventually driving deep into the city.
"Time to close the net," Su Ming muttered to himself. He knew that Yang Cheng's time was running out.
Su Ming took out his cell phone and dialed Han Jie's number.
"The action begins," he said briefly, a hint of coldness in his tone.
This night was destined not to be peaceful. The prey in Su Ming's heart finally walked towards his fate step by step.
Yang Cheng's car drove onto a busy downtown street. Streetlights flickered, and the night sky was as bustling as a city that never sleeps. The neon lights outside the car window cast a crisscrossing shadow on his face, making his expression even more solemn and complex. Although he held Black Tiger's trust and crucial intelligence for this transaction, the anxiety deep within him could not be quelled.
Along the way, he kept glancing at the rearview mirror, trying to confirm if anyone was following him. But each time, he saw only empty streets, as if there was no one else in the city except him. This silence made him even more uneasy, as if he was gradually falling into an invisible trap.
"Why do I always feel like something's wrong?" He frowned, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, his heartbeat echoing in his ears. He had gone too far, and things had reached a point of no return. He knew Black Tiger wasn't someone to be easily fooled, and the truth of this intelligence would directly determine his fate.
"I can't fail..." He muttered to himself, as if to cheer himself up.
But the doubts lingered. Black Tiger's cold gaze lingered in his mind, and the feeling of scrutiny and distrust made Yang Cheng feel even more stressed. Black Tiger was no ordinary trader; his methods were ruthless. If the other party doubted him, the consequences would be disastrous. Yang Cheng knew that those who betrayed Black Tiger never had a good ending.
As he pondered this, a faint light appeared in the rearview mirror. It loomed, approaching. Yang Cheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his hands trembled, and the steering wheel shook slightly.
"Is he being followed?" This thought flashed through Yang Cheng's mind. Although he hadn't spotted any suspicious vehicles just now, the sudden appearance of light made him impossible to ignore. He knew that if his pursuers were experienced, they wouldn't reveal themselves easily. And now, this vague threat was closing in on him, like a beast in the darkness, staring at his back.
